Trigeminal Neuralgia Due to Pontine Infarction
Headache, 2004 Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is most commonly caused by vascular compression of the trigeminal nerve root entry zone. Secondary trigeminal neuralgia due to ischemic lesion of the pons is very rare. Here we report a patient with a pontine infarct transecting

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 1999
The initial treatment for trigeminal neuralgia is medical. Carbamazepine is the drug of choice. If the patient proves to be intolerant of carbamazepine, a number of second-line drugs are available, though data on their relative efficacy are nonexistent. Phenytoin, baclofen, clonazepam, and sodium valproate are all worthy of consideration. Oxcarbazepine

Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2007
The paroxysmal facial pain of trigeminal neuralgia is notoriously severe. Recent advances in medical science are achieving significant strides toward alleviating this incapacitating condition. High-resolution neuroimaging techniques are rendering detailed views of underlying neurovascular relationships.

AbstractSevere trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is probably the most excruciating pain experienced in the orofacial region. Apart from the primary idiopathic form (ITN), this lancinating pain may be secondary to a range of underlying organic diseases (STN). Diagnosis requires differentiation of these and elimination of other causes of orofacial pain.

We completed a retrospective study of 270 patients with essential trigeminal neuralgia treated by gamma knife surgery. The target was localized on the retro-Gasserian portion of the nerve with 90 Gy at maximum. Among them, 150 patients were followed up more than 2 years. They were divided into 2 groups: pre-APS (41 patients) and post-APS (109 patients)

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is the most common facial neuralgia, and is considered to be one of the most painful conditions to affect patients. The rate of occurrence of TN in men and women is 2.5 and 5.7 per 100,000 per year respectively. TN is generally characterized by lancinating, unilateral, paroxysmal pain occurring in the distribution of the fifth

Neurology, 1990
Eighteen patients who subsequently developed typical trigeminal neuralgia experienced a prodromal pain termed "pre-trigeminal neuralgia." These patients described their prodromal pain as a toothache or sinusitis-like pain lasting up to several hours, sometimes triggered by jaw movements or by drinking hot or cold liquids.

Epidemiology of trigeminal neuralgia
Journal of Chronic Diseases, 1973Abstract Using data on patients hospitalized at the Massachusetts General Hospital, the sex ratio for trigeminal neuralgia was estimated to be 1.17 females: males. To investigate possible risk factors for this disease, 526 patients and 528 controls from two Boston neurosurgical clinics were studied.

Survival in trigeminal neuralgia
Journal of Chronic Diseases, 1973Abstract A cohort of persons with trigeminal neuralgia was followed to evaluate overall mortality and death due to specific causes. The relative survival ratio indicated that trigeminal neuralgia patients may survive longer than the general population. This finding was present in both sexes, although more marked for females.

Bilateral trigeminal neuralgia
Surgical Neurology, 1981A 56-year-old woman previously treated by a retrogasserian neurectomy for a right tic douloureux was rendered free of pain, but complete anaesthesia of the right half of her face remained. Seven years later, she developed a typical left trigeminal neuralgia.
